Paddy Steer is a Zelig-like character along the timeline of
Manchester’s musical activity. It’s a testament to his musicality that
he has played with such a wide range of music and artists over the
years, be it as a bass player, drummer, Hawaiian guitarist etc. or all
these roles at the same time.In rejection of the notion of ‘immaculate reproduction’, live
performances from Paddy’s own project err more daringly and admirably on
the frontier of chaotic abstraction, expression and focussed blunder,
dice rolling down the hill in case of duende, as from behind his stacked
array of instruments, the anarchically intrepid punk gargles through a
vocoder with his xylophone, all a-clatter under disco lights and
doilies.He creates his tools, as he creates his craft, here from scratch,
there from new, ever from long-garnered experience that includes running
the massive ensemble Homelife, years hence. In style he is unique on
the circuit that knows him, on which similarly his blinkered resolve and
capacity to create must be unparalleled.This has been reduced down over a long period of time, and applied
coat by coat with subtle mastery, for richness, depth, and vivid
texture, as if it were some magnificent curry, or a samurai sword.
Lounge, romp, deep groove, homely and galactic-expedition whimsy, furry
electronic invention, it feels akin to playing and winning a computer
game made from reality, to hear.
